I have a gx head that's 73.6mm.
I don't know if it's been shaved, though. If it has, it's not much. The area under the thermostat hasn't been touched.

Interesting how that's not in the service manual. I was expecting to find something like a "service limit" for head thickness. You know, like for rotors.

It's happened to me too. My poor wife was in the car.
"it smells like pencils burning!!"
"why is smoke coming out of the dash?!?!"

I found a good used block and cleaned the terminals with some fine sandpaper. I also put some conductve grease on the terminals before snapping the fuses in.

If I'm not mistaken, that fuse is only for the headlights. The parking lights are on a separate circuit.

These are the stock calipers, Annet 12/14A.

The disks are stock Nissan P/N 40206-H1006, 212.5mm dia

Since my current wheels don't fit around the S13 setup, I decided to redo the stock brakes.

Yes, the stock brakes suck, but stock brakes that don't work right suck more. I found a siezed piston in the RH caliper.

I had a hard time finding rotors. R1 Concepts Inc. have them and they can slot, cross drill or both. I was surprised to find that they are Nissan rotors and not some random brand.
It was also interesting to find that slots are mostly for appearance.

I also fitted bProjects Sports pads. The pads seem to grab better when they're warmed up but there's no drama trying to stop when cold.

The right side door window in my sedan broke. I used a sheet of plastic, about 4.5mm thick to replace it.
I did this as a temporary solution until I could find a replacement window.
It has been about a year now. haha

It's just an idea so you're not stuck without a window.

Is that MSD coil ok to use with the Pertronix?
If I'm not mistaken, you can only run certain coils with it.

If this is Australian for " take a class and rent a welder" then , yes, do that.

There is an equipment rental place around here that rents a gasless wire feed welder for about $50 a day. If you've prep'ed everything before, you can easily knock out more than $50 worth of welding in a day.

An iPhone.

Congrats for your new daughter.

With all of the modern safety standards and features available in newer cars today aren

Here's a picture of the long and short arms.
I found an A15 (late) pump replaced the arm with the shorter A12 (early). I had to carefully (carbide) drill out the balls that hold the fulcrum pin and then tapped the hole for set screws. Why? because I couldn't find and early pump. The stiffer spring probably gives me a little more fuel presure too.
